Finn—Another fire, undoubtedly incen-
diary. occurred during the severe rain storm
last. Thursday night, resulting in the destruc- '
tion of a barn and a carriage house belong-
ing to W. K. James, Esq., in the rear of his
residence. The alarm was sounded about 4
midnight, and the fire department turned
out as promptly as possible. The hose boys
connected-with a hydrant, and soon had one
stream on the fire. Some-delay occurred in
getting on a second stream, simply because
the hose company had to returu‘to their
house for more hose, which was found too
short and it. third trip had 'tO he made.
The' -Water Works supplied plenty Of
water, throwing excellent streams, and
rendering the steam enginc,-which was
promptly on hand ready for use—entirely
unnecessary, and it was left standing in the
street. Two streams were put on, and two
more could have been supplied if there had
been hose enough." The firemen worked
well, utterly regardless of the rain, and suce
ceeded‘in saving a barn adjacent, occupied
by Dr- Barbour, (also belonging to Mr.
James,)and several smaller buildings. Dur-
ing the fire as six firemen were in the second
story of the barn, the floor gave way letting
.them all down to the ground, but fortunate-
ly they all escaped with a few bruises. Mr.
James’ cow escaped, badly singed, but his
horse was burned. to death. *Mr. James’ loss
is probably between $4,000 and $5,000 ; in-
sured $1,200 on buildings destroyed, and
$200 on the Barbour barnfl ' ,

truly more a pleasure than a duty, to bid
you welcome to Greenwich. In the name
and on behalf of your many friends in this
town, I bid you a cordial welcome to our
hearths and to our homes. You are distinc-
tively a Fairfield County Regiment; and
whatever 'tribute may he‘due you for the
honors you have gained and the bravery
and patriotism on have exhibited, is due
from us your ne ghhors and kinsmen, from
among whom you went forth/to battle, for
whom your noble sacrifices were made, and
on whom the glory of your achievements is-
reflected. (Cheers) When the hour of
peril came and treason laid its hand it on
the nation's life, than among the early on led
you went forth to danger and to death and
placed your bodies as a living rampart be-
tween the re ublic; and its bitter foes.
(Applause) on cOme to us to-day with
the memoriesof Chancellorsville and Get-
tysburg, of Folly Island and Florida clus-
tering thick around you, with memories of
the camp and the battle-field, of weary
marches and long and dark night-'watcliings,
of capture and imprisonment—Of suffering
and, defeat, and at last splendid triumph.
(Applause) At Chancellorsville the Fates
were against you, but the fault was not
your obvn; and when the full history of that
battle shall be clearly understood, it will be
'seen that you well maintained the honOr of
the little State that you represented. and
from whose hills and valleys you went
forth. Well mi hi the Adjutant-General of
Connecticut exc aim, as he did exclaim, that
had all performed their duty with the same
degree offldelity'aud bravery that were ex-
hibited by your regiment the result would
have been less disastrous. (Cheers) The
vacant places in you'r'ranks of the one hun-
dred and twent men lost at Chancellorsville
Vburg, are more than a sufficient answer to
any sueers or any attempt at detraction.
Pointing silently to your dead, you can
safely afford to await the verdict of your
countrymen. (Cheers) Wilcoxson and
Chatfield, Moore and Walter, and Fowler
and hundreds of your rank and file, speak to
us from their graves; and their'dead lips,
[though motionless forever bear tribute to
the bravery and zeal—the loyal endurance
and the patient suffering of the gallant Sev-
enteenth. (Loud applause.) ‘
And now the war is over and peace has
come again ; the battle flags are ibrled, and
our weary eyes are turned no longer south-
ward to hear the distant: thunders of battle.
The fields once crimsoned by the blood of
our chosen are nowgolden mthbarvests of
waving grain, and the old flag once more
floats above every inch of the territory of the
republic. God Was merciful to you and
spared you to behold this do of peace and
love—of aUuion restored an a government
firmly reestablished. But there were those
among you who were forbidden, even from
afar, to gaze upon the promised land, and
who died without the sight; Reverently,
to-day, as you recall your past, you will
speak onyour deachomrades, and with
bowed heads and quivering) lips, will dwell
upon the memories of the rave hearts now
:stilled forever, of the manly forms that sleep
beneath the Southern skies, and the patriotic
spirits that keep eternal watch above the
land made sacred by their blood and ren~
dcred glorious by their valor. (Great ap-
plause.) ' . 3;
And one‘word more: Iu,_the lad-re-union
Of this day, in the pleasures 0 your social
festivities, Iyour mothers, wives, sisters and
daughters ave more than earned their full
share of the enjoyment. Whenamid their
prayers rind tears you moved onward to the
front you left aching hearts behind. From
the beginning to the end their eyes were
upon you, their hearts and hopes were with
you, and their prayers were over you like a
benediction from Heaven. Without :their
aid—without their earnest enthusiasm,
without their patriotic resignation and self-
sacrifice, your labors would have been
harder to bear, and the complete triumph
finally attained ’would have been delayed
mont 3, if not for years. (Loud applause.)
And so. 10-day, we welcome each and
every one of you; Lon may you live to
enjoy thefruits of your la ors in acountry
redeemed from every blighting curse, rege-
nerated and purified—in a flag everywhere
respected and beloved,and_iu aland moyiiig
onward in a career of unexampled prospe-
rity—as proud Of the heroes who have saved
her as herberoes are proud of the land they
have saved. (Enthusmstic applause.)
Gen. Noble responded, when the members
prepared by the ladies of Greenwich, to
which'they did ample justice.
A poem dedicated to the regimen t,wr'itten
' by Mr. John H. Treadwell, of weatport,
was read by Lieut. Lees, and several brief
addresses were made. AvOte of thanks was
passed to the citizensof Greenwich for the
generous manner in which the regiment had
been entertained. The Club House and
grounds were thrown open to all, the Band
discourSed sweet music, and the balance of
the. time passed pleasantly at the charming
Point, until it became necessary to leave for
the trains, homéward hound.

Flinn Entrust—A trip to the Vineyard High-
lands, or, as commonly called, uOak Blnfi's,” is a
recreation from business which many people look
forward to with delight. 'The warm days of July,
and still more sultry days of August, drives the
pleasureateeker to the sea shore, where cool air and
atlll cooler nights refresh the body and mind. The
resort of our Methodist brethren, when they love
to‘congregute, and where the Spirit of God was in
them and around them, has become a fashionable
watering place. where dancing is thought of for an
evening entertainment sooner than the prayer meet-
ing. A short sketch of our trip will probably snfilce
for your readers:
We left South Norwalk' depot on'the 6.39 a. in.
train for Hartford, where. onarrlvlng, we purchased
mursi'on tickets for Oak Bluffs and return to Hart-
ford—transferring us across 'New Beul‘ord by horse
cars to his steamboat wharf. where we took steamer
for the “ Blufi's," arriving at 0 o’clock p. in. Our
baggage was checked" at Harthrd, and OR of our
minds until our arrivallat the Blnfl‘s. The railroad
management is excellent. We then took'the Hart-
ford. Providence and Plshkill Road to Providence;
thence by Tauuton and New Bedford.
Co arriving at the Blufi's. we find the wharf
crowded by people,‘who make a practice of seeing
the steamboats “ in " and “ out.” At. this point our
troubles began. The boat did not go to Edgartown
as heretofore, but a small propeller ran up there.
Whercls the propeller? 0h! she has gone about
half an hour. Bow shall wcget there 2 Take a small
boat or carriage. ,
Readers,lust imagine a carrlagc load of five, with
three trunks and a vallsc, and as many small hand
bags, with no place to strap a trunk on the back of
the vehicle, going eight miles in - a » heavy fog.
through Manic! sand, just on the edge of the even-
ing, and the "Pioneer ” of the party hanging on to
a trunk on the step of the barouche. In this style
we rode from the Blair to Edgartown, to the tune
of six dollars.
We forgot to mention our first kind oii‘erto becau-
veyed over was from a captain ofa small craft. to go
by water, only three or four hours sail, with wind
“ dead ”ahead." and fog thick enough to slice, all for
eight dollars. ‘
l
“incl-e,” and in a terrible haste to get rid of it, pro-
vided wc,couid see the sights and pass along.
'The road to Edgartown' is some fifty feet wide, and
has cost the town already 840,000, and runs alone
owners rather beav-ly. The residents of the village
“of Bdgartown do‘iiot feel'it quite so much, as if the
camp ground were not in the town.
On our arrival at the “ Original Ocean House,”
Capt. Rufus N. Sfiiilbg-wc found'no room ’for us.
Here came the second trOuble. But our landlord
soon found room for us in a ", house around the cor-
ncr,"and there" we rested, after runner, for the night.
Being very tired and weary after an all day’s travel,
our sleep was not as sound as might be. Visions of
night-norm and other kinds of animals kept us
awake until the small hours of the morning, the
Pioneer showing unmistakable signs of restiveness,
and battling with unknown and vlsiouary enemies.
The next day we were quartered in our rooms at the
" Original," and soon after a good breakfast of blue
fish, we see out for a vlslt to the whalcr “ Eur opa.’
then lying at the wharf.,
This whale ship had been gone from borne six
years lacking a.w'cek,j'and returned with 4,100 bar-
rels Ofsperui, which they had procured in the North-
ern Pacific and Arctic Oceans. Captain Thomas
Mellen was aboard, clearing out, aud‘had a beauti-
ful lot of coral, some fifteen or. twenty pieces, which
he had brought from the Hervey Islands, South
Pacific. The ladles were much pleased with the spe-
cimens, and more so when Capt. Mclleu presented
each one wlth a large, handsome piece, which the
recipients herewi'h acknowledge again.
The Europa left Edgart'own August 80th, 1866, and
forty which sailed from Honolulu and San Francisco
a year ago last April. The tidings of the wrecks
were bronghtto Honolulu on October 23d, 1871, and
in two days twelve hundred shipwrecked mariners
were landed on the shores of the stllan Islands.
This vessel brought to San Franclsco two hundred
and eighty men from this terrible catastrophe. The
Europa. Arctic, Progress, Midas, Lagods, Chance
and Daniel Webster were the seven vessels which
kept out of the ice, and which were found by Capt.
D. R. Fraser. then in command of the shipwrecked
crews. ., The distance traveled by the crews in the
boats after the abandonment, until reaching the res
cnlng vessels south of Icy Cape. was about seventy
miles. The ice to seaward was one compact mass,
the waterVa'ioug the beach being anarrow strip : for
the entire distance very shoal; ,
This is the ship in which Col.:V_alcntlne, of Gov.
J ewell'a tried, was killed by falling down the hatch-
way.
The hotels are all full and the houses (private)
around them are occupied.
We met our old Neptune poet Paul, or Little Mac,
often called; also, his townsman. E. Norton: and
Fuller Bron, of Scranton, Pcnn., with their friends
Corbett and Courscn. Rev. Mr. Baird. Professor of
Greek V’in New York City University, and family;
' lilac, Prof. Shalcr and family, Professor of-Gcology
at: Harvard' college, were stopping at the house. We
spent a week very pleasantly there, then took the
“Island Home" fOr Nantucket, arrivlngthcre alter
‘a two hours’ run, at 0 o'clock p. II. .
Our captain of the " beach wagon ” took us to the
Freeman AdamsHousc for a dollarand a-qnarter for
the baggage and the party “ thrown in."
Nantucket seemed to be alive with people—more
than we have seen at any time before—and the
town, we believe, will become, in succeeding years,
more and merc'a' place of resort. '
In our ride, the next day, to the eastern shore of
the Island, to the village of Slas consctt. iu the cap-
tain's "beach wagon," we passed the "white stone”
with figure “is " oa'lt. which the captain said was
[the burial place of the celebrated man who onlyiiad
~ one eye, and that was in their foreheads: also, the
deep cut. across the island, where, he very dryly re-
marked, the whale in which. Jonah sailed" went
through. Of course we all had long swallows, as we
were all out to “drink in " everything whlch we
could come across. The Joker! on the "Pioneer”
that the Island had been covered by water in days
past, was a " clicker,” until the captain came to an
explanation, “that they sometimes have heavy rains
onthc Island," which was swallowed without com-
ment. The “ice lurches," so memorable on all
squautnm rides, were pcrccptablc, and af;er a pleas-
ant ridc of eight miles we drove into Slasconsett vil-
lage on a 9.40 gait, beating every light‘ugou on the
road. although we had the hcpvlest load, by nearly
double, of anytcam which had gone out that after-
noon.
Thc surfwas not as heavy-u in the morning, the
wind dying out, but still it was grand. Saucotv
Bead Light-house, a mile and a half north of its,
standing-100 feet abov'c the surf or beach. is visited
by many people, it being a large revolving light.
which can be seen many miles on the sea. The
foundation stands 80 feet above the beach. Passing
an hour ‘on the beach, picking up shell; and gazing
at. the surf as it rolled up, we turned our steps to-
ward Nantucket, refreshing theinner man villihsome
splendid ice cream, made at the village shop, next
door to the “ town pump," which stood but six feet.
from the building. “
Our 2:40 homeland captain drove up, and back we
wént, passing the “ cue-eyed fellows,” “Jonah and
the whale,” and all the bushes, «be, until we landed
at our hotel about wartime, having had a pleasant
and enjoyable tlme.
Captain John Pittman we shall remember when
V' oqr feet are again set for Nantucket.
A'yislt to the Museum and Tower was made, and
_ the town “done up.” We left‘ on the boat next
morning for home, arriving at- Providence at 0
o'clock; and as no train left for Hartford until!
o'clock next morning. our party stayed over night
and looked shooting city until .18 m.,,in, a pouring
rain. ' . ‘
Leaving Providenccaf 11.50, we arrived ln Hart,
ford at 4 o'clock p. m., where we were met bv Mr. ll.
H. Woodhonsc and wife. and refreshed at their resi—
dence by a sumptuous dinner _a_nd a pleasant walk.

brought Oil, and the eyes of the fat men
gustened with joy at the sight of the huge
piles of clams, oysters, sweet potatoes and
corn which adorned the tables. The call
for clams was incessant, and the waiters
flew around, supplying all with the bivalves.
It was4 o’clock when the last man left the
tables perfectly satisfied with his feast;
Falstaff never partook of a better spread
than did his followers that day. .Bantling
had no disciples there.
The ingredients of the bake were as fr I
lows :—50 bushels of clams {‘15 bushels of
oysters ; 300 pounds of blue fish ; 50 pounds
of eels ; 2 barrels of sweet potatoes ; 500
cars of corn, and a large quantity of com-
mon potatoes. When the fat men ‘ were
through. not a clam was to be seen—nothing
hut a pile of glistening shells.
After dinner the business meeting of the
Association was, held in the Gregory’s Point
House. The officers elected for the ensuing
year were as follows : » - -

(re-elected). '

The Flatridge Hill Sunday School held a
festival .in their chapel, last Wednesday
evening, which proved to be a very interest:
ing social season,and will be long remem-
bered by all present. This Sunday School
has been organized but a few months, but
in that time it has made considerable-pro-
gress. lts ofiicers and teachers, assisted by
the older scholars, entertain the children by
holding a festival occasionally. The children
are all provided with a free pass in and to
the good things therein contained, thus giv-
ing all an opportunity to have a good time,
which lam sure all did. Peaches and ice
cream were dealt out bountiful] , melons,
cakes and confectionery were in a unclanco.
The tables were adorned with many choice
bouquets, which added much to the beauty
of the scene. ‘Taking all things tOgethcr, I
think that. every person present, adults 'as
well as the Sunday School children, return—
ed home well pleased with the evening’s
entertainment, and without doubt the result
will be a crowded house next time. U. C.
